After the three finished eating, He Xumei directly drove over a Hummer SUV, which immediately invigorated Zhang Tianxing and his companion.
"I like this big guy," Shi Xingxing said, seeing the angular exterior and rugged appearance, which gave off a wild beauty.
However, the car perfectly blended with He Xumei's temperament.
A sharp sword is gifted to a brave warrior, and beautiful women are for handsome men; this is the principle.
He Xumei drove them to an underground parking garage. Upon entering, both were stunned.
There were dozens of luxury cars, like a miniature luxury car exhibition. Among them were several "Tiger Head Bens" (a type of Mercedes-Benz).
Zhang Tianxing's eyes immediately fell on a black Tiger Head Ben, which was clearly a notch above the others.
"Sister He, I've taken a liking to that black Tiger Head Ben. How much is it? I'll take it."
He Xumei was stunned. What? You've taken a liking to that black Tiger Head Ben?
"Why don't you choose another Tiger Head Ben? This one is a bit different," He Xumei advised.
"I feel this car suits my taste more than the others." Zhang Tianxing had his heart set on this one from the first glance. As long as the price wasn't outrageous, he'd buy it.
What do men earn money for if not for cars and women? He didn't need a woman right now, so he'd get a car to enjoy first.
He Xumei knew the ins and outs of this place very well. That black Tiger Head Ben was no ordinary one.
It was a customized Tiger Head Ben, equivalent to more than three ordinary ones on the market.
However, due to its high weight, that car weighed five tons, making its fuel consumption incredibly high.
It was like it was drinking gasoline whenever it started.
"Brother Tianxing has excellent taste. That is a customized Tiger Head Ben, B7+ class. It's a limited edition, with only five in the world."
Hearing "B7+ class," Zhang Tianxing was astonished. If that were the case, even the cars of heads of state wouldn't be much better.
"I want to drive it away. How much is it? I'll buy it." Zhang Tianxing immediately made up his mind to buy it.
Opportunity knocks but once. A B7+ class like this is rare, and if he missed this chance, he'd never find it again.
"This car is not cheap," He Xumei said meaningfully, but she didn't say more. If Zhang Tianxing was buying the car, it was as good as her buying it, and she would ask her cousin for the lowest price.
"One point five million. If this car were shipped to Shengjing, it would cost at least three million. But since you want it, and my cousin asked me to give you the lowest price, I won't make any profit. I'm not in this business anyway."
Zhang Tianxing was very satisfied with this price. One point five million for a B7+ class Tiger Head Ben – wasn't this like getting it for free? An ordinary Tiger Head Ben cost over a million, let alone this one. He owed a huge favor.
Zhang Tianxing had a principle: better to owe money than a favor.
Money owed was a quantifiable amount that could be repaid, but how to repay a favor?
Zhang Tianxing was a bit reluctant. "Just tell me the price. Whatever it is, that's what I'll pay."
He Xumei smiled. "No need. This is also his way of repaying your life-saving kindness. If it weren't for you in the previous accident, he would have died. This car is nothing. It's him repaying a debt, not you owing one."
He Xumei saw things more clearly and stated the matter directly.
Only then did Zhang Tianxing relax. It seemed his life and his first car were about to become a reality.
"Give me an account number, and I'll transfer the money."
He Xumei gave the account number. "How about this? The car will be delivered to the school parking lot tomorrow. All the necessary paperwork will be handled for you, and the driver's license will be sent to you tomorrow. That's it for tonight. I won't be accompanying you any longer; I have to work overtime tonight."
"I'll be grateful enough to get a Tiger Head Ben at this price."
After finishing the arrangements, Zhang Tianxing and Shi Xingxing rode their bicycles back to school.
"Axing, don't mention the car to anyone yet," Zhang Tianxing instructed. He was only a freshman, and being too high-profile wouldn't be good.
Shi Xingxing nodded repeatedly. The day had been truly spectacular, making him feel the gap between himself and Zhang Tianxing.
Seeing Shi Xingxing's expression, Zhang Tianxing smiled. "Axing, whether I have money or not, we are roommates, people who sleep in the same room, and buddies who play cards together. Don't look at me with strange eyes."
Shi Xingxing suddenly understood. Thinking so much was useless. He had been worried and anxious for nothing.
Third Brother was right. Sharing a dorm and attending class together were two of life's "four great ironclad bonds." Nothing could change their classmate bond. Zhang Tianxing was always righteous in his actions, and he had been petty.
He Xumei mentioned the matter directly to her cousin. He Zhen immediately declared, "Why still collect money? Just give it to him. A car is nothing compared to saving a life!"
"No, you don't understand. If it's free, Zhang Tianxing won't accept the car. He's a man of principle."
"Fine, you handle this. Also, for the license plate, take out those five eights and put them on the plate." He Zhen decided the license plate number in a few words.
He had had that license plate with five eights for some time. Many people had wanted it, but he hadn't agreed. He never expected to give it away for free to Zhang Tianxing today.
Alas, such a cool car was gone from him. If Zhang Tianxing wasn't his savior, he would never have sold this car.
That car hadn't come easily. It was reportedly customized for a buyer in the Middle East, with only five in the world, belonging to the high-end limited edition series.
Later, due to an accident, the car found its way to China.
Through a series of coincidences, it ended up in He Zhen's hands.
Many young masters had their eyes on this car, but He Zhen had never agreed to sell it. He didn't want to give it to anyone.
He Zhen's original intention was to use it himself, but since he had a car to drive at the moment, he had parked it here.
He never expected Zhang Tianxing to fall for this Tiger Head Ben at first sight.
He could only say that he and this customized Tiger Head Ben were fated to be apart.
After all the effort, it was still being given to a savior, so it wasn't like it was going to an outsider, and it wouldn't tarnish the Tiger Head Ben's reputation.
Zhang Tianxing, this freshman, was not simple.
He Zhen fell into deep thought. Being a savior was one aspect, but more importantly, Zhang Tianxing had unlimited potential.
With these two factors combined, he had to do his best. Providing help when it's needed is far more valuable than adding icing to the cake.
This was the principle. Don't look down on a poor young man, especially a high-quality potential asset like Zhang Tianxing.
Zhonghai University produced many talented individuals every year. It was the top engineering institution in the country, producing high-end technical talents.
Their capabilities were outstanding. Zhang Tianxing was reportedly doing very well in the student union, and he was sure to be a prominent figure in the future.
Even his current achievements made most people feel ashamed. He owned companies, restaurants, businesses, and fixed assets.
Ordinary people could not reach this level.
